Jay M. Pensler, M.D.

Dr. Jay Pensler is a nationally and internationally recognized plastic surgeon based in Chicago, IL. He has authored over one hundred articles on plastic surgery and serves on numerous national committees. Dr. Pensler is active in the study and the development of the latest techniques to enhance the effectiveness of plastic surgical procedures.

Dr. Pensler offers a comprehensive array of procedures that can be tailored to the specific needs of each patient. For his breast enhancement patients he offers breast augmentation with silicone gel breast implants or saline breast implants, breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction and other procedures. He can also tailor combined procedures for full body contouring. For example, Dr. Pensler can combine tummy tuck or liposuction with breast implants in what has become known as a Mommy Makeover.

Examples of procedures Dr. Pensler performs in his state-of-the-art office operating suite in Chicago include:

• Breast enhancement: Breasts may require augmentation, reduction or elevation. Breast augmentation using breast implants enlarges the breasts by one or more cup sizes. Small incisions for the placement of the implants are made under the breasts (inframammary), in the areola (periareolar) or in the armpit (axillary).
• Breast reduction requires the removal of tissue via incisions around the areola and under the breast.
• A breast lift (mastopexy) “lifts” the breasts and nipples by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. This procedure requires incisions similar to those used in a traditional breast reduction.
